To maintain existing strategies, seek little change in current organizational (inter-organizational) arrangements. Any significant change is likely to undermine the regime established in the earlier phase. It is important, however, to find occasions to recall the mission or vision that originally inspired people to seek new strategies or validated the results of previous strategy formulation efforts.

To maintain or marginally modify existing strategies, rely on implementers and focused input from consumers. Broader involvement of elites and the public is likely to raise issues and conflicts that may require more fundamental policy changes.
